Corson, John Purvis

From Chatham, NJ, John is majoring in Physics with a minor in Math. While at BYU he relished opportunities to conduct and publish research; these, he says, were the most valuable preparation for winning a national scholarship competition. In fact, John is the recipient of the JILA/CU Research Fellowship at the University of Colorado, Boulder. He is pursuing a doctoral degree there in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics and looks forward to embarking on a lifelong research career.
